Evelyn Griggs is currently a sophomore Philosophy major at the University of Maryland. She is originally from California, but prior to coming to UMD she moved to Maryland to live with her sister. She currently has her permanent address in Maryland and pays Maryland state taxes. As of today, 4/28, the University of Maryland rejected her presidential waiver appeal for in-state tuition. Evelyn currently serves on the executive board as the Vice President of Marketing for the Beta Phi chapter of Alpha Delta Pi sorority. As a valued sister, her sisters are creating this go fund me on her behalf to help her afford out-of-state tuition to UMD until she can reapply for in-state next semester. If Evelyn cannot raise enough money for tuition she will need to leave UMD and disaffiliate from our chapter. ADPi and our lives in general has genuinely improved a thousand fold from having Evelyn in our lives and on the executive board. We are hoping to raise enough money to keep her at our University and in our chapter and to finish out her degree. She hopes to use her degree to go into marketing, something her position as VPM has helped her with. Additionally, she wishes to run for president of ADPi next semester, something she can only do if she is still enrolled at UMD. Evelyn is financially independent and is paying for college on her own, using loans and working jobs. She has gone through multiple appeals including a presidential waiver which was denied for in-state tuition despite paying Maryland taxes, being a permanent resident, and having a Maryland passport and driver's license. Any donations will help, thank you -Alpha Delta Pi sisters on behalf of Evelyn
